BBL 2022-23: Sydney Thunder Terminated Contract With Fazalhaq Farooqi, Know Reason 

Date:

The Big Bash League contract of Afghanistan pacer Fazalhaq Farooqi has been cancelled by Sydney Thunder with immediate effect following an investigation by Cricket Australia into a disciplinary complaint. The conduct commissioner for Cricket Australia heard the allegation regarding an event that occurred last Thursday.

After the hearing, the Thunder decided to immediately cut connections with Farooqi and stated in a statement that “all impacted parties have been offered support.” 

Farooqi, who had never before played in the BBL, has not yet been replaced by the Thunder, who must still make that decision.

Cricket NSW CEO Lee Germon said: “The behaviours displayed by Fazalhaq Farooqi sit outside our values and it was determined that his contract be terminated.

“Our focus now is providing the necessary support to those affected by this incident.”

“Sydney Thunder have terminated the contract of Fazalhaq Farooqi, following a hearing held by Cricket Australia’s Conduct Commissioner,” the Friday afternoon release read.
